How To make Spur Of The Moment Pesto
1 1/2 c Basil, globe, fresh
1 1/2 c Basil, holy (krapau)
3 Garlic clove
2 ts Chives; chopped
1 1/2 c Olive oil
1 c Parmesan; grated
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper, black
1/2 c Pecan pieces
1 c Chicken, leftover; minced
2 Anchovy fillets (opt)
In a blender or food processor combine the basils, garlic, chives, cheese, anchovies, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the olive oil. Blend at low speed until a puree consistency is achieved. Drizzle in the remaining oil, blending at low speed until the oil is completely incorporated. Add the chicken and process no more than five seconds. Add the pecans and process no more than another five seconds; the chicken and pecans should still be identifiable. Serve as a sauce for pasta salad or hot pasta. Sam Waring

Making Pesto
We are making a double batch of pesto in the video, but here is the recipe for a single batch:
1 bulb roasted garlic
1/2 Cup Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Cashews
2 Cups Basil (pack it when you measure for better flavor)
Salt to taste
Put it all in a blender or food processor and enjoy. :)
Here is the link to the basil I really like to use for the pesto. One plant makes a LOT of pesto.
Creamy Delicious Broccoli Pesto Lasagna | Vegetables Taste Nice Too Series | Bumped Up Broccoli Ep 3
This was a spur of the moment dish to take care of a craving I had. This was made on the fly with things I ready had around but it came out like everything was meant for each other. If you like broccoli and cheese you will enjoy this dish. Pesto is used with poetic license because pesto is a raw sauce and the broccoli here is cooked. That said there are traditional pestos made in Italy with cooked elements like walnut pesto/pesto di noci/salsa di noci.
This is not a traditional dish.
Ingredients
lasagna noodles
the florets from one whole small head of broccoli
lemon juice
pine nuts
1 clove garlic (use more garlic if you'd like)
Parmesan cheese
gouda cheese
any white cheese that melts well (except plastic cheese pretty please)
milk
butter
ap flour
1 small tomato
1 half of a small onion
olive oil
salt and pepper
I cooked the lasagna in a small 8 inch skillet that is oven proof. The recipe yielded 4 nice slices of lasagna. I had 2 the day of and the other two held up well in the refrigerator and heated up just like new the microwave the next day without the broccoli pesto getting overcooked.
